Like so many in the liberal media, Bill Maher is deeply concerned that George Zimmerman might end up being acquitted for killing Trayvon Martin.

On HBO’s Real Time Friday, the host joked, “If you are a Korean who owns a grocery store in Compton, you might want to get the fire extinguishers ready now” (video follows with transcript and commentary):

BILL MAHER: Let's not pretend tonight that anybody in this country is talking about anything but the trial. The state of Florida vs. Paul Blart: Mall Cop. That’s what it's all about, and let me tell, you saw this, we saw for the last two days summations that went to the jury today. Given the track record of juries in America letting guilty people off, I wouldn't be surprised if that happens again. Nobody should be surprised. In fact, if you are a Korean who owns a grocery store in Compton, you might want to get the fire extinguishers ready now. [Laughter and applause]

No you know, Florida officials, they're the ones who are really worried about rioting. In fact, they're trying so hard to get black people to remain in their homes, it looks like Election Day down there.

Interesting how Maher like so many in the media is convinced of Zimmerman’s guilt.

Would that be the case if Zimmerman was black and Martin a “white Hispanic?”
